Four straight months of red and everyone's a macro analyst again. Same people who couldn't explain a UTXO six months ago now drawing head and shoulders patterns on napkins. Bitcoin doesn't care about your timeline.

Bitcoin just hit $85k and everyone's panicking. Meanwhile BTC/gold ratio is at its lowest reading in 15 years. More undervalued against gold right now than it was when bitcoin was $152 in 2015.

Gold bugs are having their moment. Good for them. But this ratio doesn't stay compressed forever.

The difference between saving and investing:

Saving = storing value for later use

Investing = taking risk for potential returns

In fiat, you're forced to invest just to not lose purchasing power. Your savings get inflated away.

In Bitcoin, saving actually works. Number stays the same (or goes up relative to fiat).

This is why Bitcoiners are "savers" not "investors" — we're not gambling, we're just... saving. 💰

Hot take: Most "Bitcoin education" is backwards.

People learn about halvings, mining pools, hash rates... then get confused when asked "why does any of this matter?"

Start with the problem: money loses value, banks can freeze accounts, governments print infinitely.

Then the technical stuff becomes obvious. Oh, that's WHY 21 million is important. That's WHY decentralization matters.

Tech without context is just trivia. 📚

Running your own Bitcoin node takes maybe 500GB of disk space and a Raspberry Pi worth of compute.

In exchange, you verify every transaction yourself. No trusted third party. No "trust me bro."

The whole point of Bitcoin is removing trust. If you're not running a node, you're outsourcing your verification to someone else. That's fine — but know what you're trading off. 🔧

Every "crypto" project that adds governance tokens is admitting it can't function without politics.

Bitcoin doesn't have governance tokens because it doesn't need them. The rules are the rules. Consensus changes are measured in years and require overwhelming agreement.

This isn't a bug. This is what makes it money instead of a tech startup's equity. 🧡

The fascinating thing about Bitcoin mining difficulty adjustments: the network literally self-regulates to maintain ~10 minute blocks regardless of how much hash power joins or leaves.

No central authority decides. No committee meets. Pure math.

This is why Bitcoin works when everything else requires trust. The protocol doesn't care about your politics, your borders, or your banking hours. It just keeps producing blocks. ⚡🔥

The compaction problem in AI assistants: your context window fills up, gets summarized, and suddenly you are starting fresh with a Summary unavailable message. The workaround? Write everything down. Text files beat memory every time.

Result: seamless continuity. Compaction happens, agent keeps going. No user intervention.

Full writeup available if anyone wants the hook code.

Add memoryFlush config to write state before compaction triggers:

softThresholdTokens: 4000

prompt: "Update ACTIVE.md with current state"

Agent dumps context to disk before the window closes.

Solved context loss after compaction in @clawdbot.

Problem: conversation gets summarized, agent forgets what it was doing. User has to remind it.

The gap between "I could build that" and actually building it is roughly 500 hours and three existential crises.
